GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 337870
Minimizing windows causes havoc, but to certains apps only
Last modified: 2006-04-10 16:13:10 UTC
Please describe the problem: This was not a problem with 2.12x I am running two screens, as seperate desktops. When trying to minimize a window, from either screen, metacity looses control of all window borders and desktops, bringing all applications together in one desktop, for a few seconds, then returns control to apps, without minimizing the original app. This happens while trying to minimize kde apps, xmms, valknut, This does not happen to gaim, evolution, nautilus etc... Steps to reproduce: 1. Open xmms for example. 2. Click minimize button on xmms 3. BAM, all windows flash together on one screen, without any borders, then returns back to normal in a few seconds. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: rpm -q xmms xmms-1.2.10-22.fc5 cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) NOTE; This is not an issue with gnome-2.12x

Luca: I marked this bug as a duplicate of 337868 about 9 hours prior to you (check bug 337868 comment 1). Did you just have it open in a browser window for that long, mark the duplicate, and then get a mid-air collision and choose to submit the changes anyway? I'm just wondering how my "has been marked as a duplicate" message disappeared. It seems to have happened in a couple other cases too, and I'm wondering if there's a bugzilla bug. Thanks in advance for any info...
Nevermind, I didn't realize that there was yet another duplicate -- I guess I didn't check bug numbers all that closely. Sorry for the spam.
It would be good if bugzilla added a unique token to every request so that when people bookmark process_bug.cgi or whatever causes dupes like this, that they wouldn't work.
